Bringing you up-to-date, part 1!

Between moving and having a newborn and toddler, I've had ZERO time to keep up with the blog. So I'll do a few shorters posts to get up to date. First, the update on our new house!

We closed on the house on June 15th and started moving small loads of things from the condo to the house during that week. We also painted the boys rooms during the week. On Father's Day, June 21st, we had our big move. We couldn't have done it without help from all our wonderful family and friends, so for the 100th time, thank you all!

We had our new couch delivered and our new washer and dryer were also delivered. They very well may be one of my favorites parts of the new house! I love having a laundry room in the basement instead of having to deal with the washer and dryer in the kitchen, like it was at the condo. The washer and dryer we chose are HE's, but the washer is a top loader instead of a front loader. They are much better at getting the cloth diapers clean than the front loaders are.

We're getting things unpacked, more slowly than surely, but it's nice to just be here and be able to enjoy our yard this summer! Ian LOVES the fenced in yard and Charles LOVES his new Weber grill he got for Father's Day. We've only used the hot tub once, but I'm sure once we're not spending our free-time or time after the boys go to bed unpacking, we'll make more use of it.

We have a long list of things we have yet to do but as I'm not working right now and staying home with the boys, we'll take those things one at a time when we have some surplus funds. The main things are a new dishwasher, a large area rug or just getting the basement carpeted, removing a tree in the backyard, privacy fence in the backyard and adding a tub in the basement bathroom.

Once we're a little more unpacked, I'll get some pictures up. I'm especially excited to get the boys' rooms finished! They're going to be so cute!
